Nope. Just see no value in spending my time, energy or money to keep people alive who are too stupid or lazy to do it for themselves.

I think I see the different angle of what you are saying but that's still not a loving attitude towards others though.

You are just going to have to get used to the fact that I am not a "Loving attitude towards others" kinda guy Von. I am highly misanthropic. The group of people I love or care about is small and if you aren't in one of those groups I really have no emotional interest in your life or death. And it doesn't matter if you are related to me by blood either.

You called death by drugs and alcochol "good". There is nothing good about it. I chalk it up to idle talk that you don't really mean.

I think alcohol is one of the great evils in the world. I’m not against having a drink here and there, but so, so many people are way too ok with excessive drinking and also driving while drunk. It’s ingrained into our society that it’s acceptable and cool to get drunk. Talk about being brainwashed by the media…

Booze is a blessing. Abuse of it is a curse. It's highly profitable, so getting drunk has been made culturally acceptable. Where there is misery and no opportunity, and idle time, there is much drinking and drugging IME. The lockdowns made it all even worse. Regardless I have lost one friend to a booze related incident and many old friends to heroin and fentanyl so I'm not callous about it.

I’ve been losing friends to alcohol most of my life. A few friends in highschool because of drunk driving, and several more since. Shit, my grandfather survived being shot out of a plane over Germany, stayed in a camp until wwii was over, and then came home and drank himself to death.
Everyone knows how dangerous it can be but all it takes is one commercial with a doughy bald guy drinking with a hottie to make everyone think it’s awesome.

What the fuck are y'all talking about? Alcohol didn't suddenly appear with Spuds MacKenzie. It's crazy that everyone here "loses" all of these people to fentanyl, alcohol, and covid, but I've never lost anyone to any of those things, and there's 100% chance that I've partied harder than you limp dicks. Y'all have a story for everything...
Anyways, this bottle of wine isn't going to drink itself.

People aren't typically lost to drugs and alcohol, they are lost to despair or recklessness.

I don't believe in possession either. On the other hand, it's questionable that we have free will.

I lost my little brother and my little baby niece to Fentenyl. If it can happen to them, it can happen to anyone. If you are dumb enough to get to the point where alcohol or drugs kills you then so be it. You will just be a drain on someone anyway.

I more or less agree but I don't think it's stupidity (Or "Addiction"), I think it's a combination of personality, lack of opportunity or desirable choices, life experiences and so on. My younger sister died from a fentanyl OD and in many ways she never had an easy time with things.

Neither did my brother. Or my niece for that matter. Still, you either adapt and overcome or fall. Survival of the fittest and all that.
